Santo Volto di Gesù Church

The church of Our Lady of Coromoto was built between 1976 and 1978, designed by the architect Massimo Battaglini. The title of the church refers to the Virgin of Coromoto, whose devotion is widespread in Venezuela and whose patron saint she is: the change of name of the parish in the 1980s is due to the contribution of Italian-Venezuelans to the construction costs of the building.

St. Peter and St. Paul's Basilica is undoubtedly one of the most famous churches in Rome's modernist quarter (Q. XXXII). The building, designed by architect Arnaldo Foschini in 1938, is a Greek cross and features a reinforced concrete structure topped by a 31-metre diameter dome. It was not until 1955 that it was officially opened for worship. The two colossal statues of St. Peter and St. Paul facing the building since 1942, are two of the most representative elements of the basilica.

The ancient basilica of San Pancrazio was built by order of Pope Symmachus (498-514) on the site where the 14-year-old martyr St. Pancras was buried. In the first half of the 7th century, during the pontificate of Pope Honorius I, the basilica was completely rebuilt so that the tomb of St. Pancras was located exactly under the high altar. The church gives access to catacombs which give an idea of the hardships of the Christians who came here to pray.
